'Magnificence piled upon magnificence.' Is what I wrote in 1991, and it still applies. At a blind tasting in 1994 it just beat the '61 and earned my highest marks of the entire tasting, particularly noticing its harmony and 'tea chest of spice' on the nose, and fabulous flavour. Spice, eucalyptus, noted again, its crisp vivacity aiding and abetting the bouquet and the finest wines at pre-sale tastings in New York in 1996 and 1999will go on. M.B.
